Zayn Malik has cancelled another gig over anxiety issues.
In June the former One Direction start was set toperform at Capital Summertime Ball but pulled out over the worst anxiety of his career. Now his 7 October Autism Rocks gig in Dubai has been cancelled
Promoters 117 Live have issued a statement saying that fans will receive a full refund.
Meanwile, Zayn issued the following: “I have been working over the last three months to overcome my extreme anxiety around major live solo performances I feel I am making progress but I have today acknowledged that I do not feel sufficiently confident to move forward with the planned show in Dubai in October.”
This will come as a blow to his extraordinary fanbase.
Since leaving One Direction last year, Zayn has become a superstar solo act. When he released his first single, 'Pillowtalk', in February, it was the fastest-selling single of 2016 (at that point), racking up combined sales of 112,000 copies in its first week.
His album became the first ever album by a male solo artist to reach number 1 in the US.
